So I arrived in Seattle about a week and a half ago. It seems like a great city. On my first night here there were 3 concerts I wanted to see! I ended up going to Moby at the Paramount theatre, which was awesome. I had some awesome African food before the show. There are so many good vegetarian-friendly restaurants here. Love the hills, the views of the mountians and the water. Seattle is a beautiful city. There are lots of clouds, but it hasn't rained that much yet...

My friend Erica, from Boston came last week. We explored the major downtown sights. (If anyone wants some fish shipped from Pike's Place, let me know.) After stopping by the bigggest, coolest REI, we took a road trip (and a ferry) to Orcas Island, a 1.5 hour trip. We camped for two nights there in a beautiful campsite on a mountain lake... pictures to come soon. We hiked up Mount Constitution (7 miles roundtrip) and good a good view, although we couldn't see Vancouver or Seattle or Rainer because of clouds. We then went sea kayaking and saw a BALD EAGLE and Orange and Purple Starfish! On the way back we stopped at two places to taste some wine. It was a fun trip with a good friend.

I started work in Family Medicine on Monday. Swedish First Hill Med Center seems like a great place and the residents are really cool and smart. Now relaxing this weekend.More adventures when they happen...
